The Open: Rahm says he's 'confident' after Irish Open victory
There is a total prize fund of $10.75million (£8.65m) for the Open Championship at Portrush.
This is an increase of $250,000 (£200,000) from last year’s tournament at Carnoustie.
The winner’s prize has also had an increase from the $1.89m (£1.5m) Francesco Molinari took home 12 months ago.
The victor at Royal Portrush will pocket themselves a cool $1.935m (£1.56m).
The winner’s prize at The Open has steadily risen over the last five years to just shy of $2million.
Martin Slumbers, Chief Executive of The R&A, said: “The Open is a global sporting event and our priority is to ensure that this is reflected in the prize fund.
“We have a long-term strategy to ensure The Open remains at the forefront of golf and maintains its unique allure in sporting terms.
“We are also committed to investing in our other major championships, especially the AIG Women’s British Open.”
The prize money on offer at Royal Portrush shall only be allocated only to professional golfers.
If more than 70 professional golfers make the cut, additional prize money will be added to the fund.
Prize money will decrease by $125 (£100) per qualifying place above 70 to a minimum of $13,500 (£10,858).
